Hi Doctor,
Is it safe to give meftal forte during dengue to bring down the temperature. My wife's temperature is not coming down beyond 102 degrees Celsius. Currently she is taking dolo 650 (6 hours interval).
Thanks

You should give her tepid sponging to reduce the temperature and make sure she remains hydrated. If the fever is persistently high I would advise you to visit the nearest MD general medicine so that she can be evaluated and treated accordingly.
